text_original: The custom of the Frankish kingdom was that every man should be judged by the law of his own nation. But in practice this re  solved itself into a sort of equitable jurisdiction based partly on common sense, partly on the personal will of the count, from whom impartial justice could hardly be expected in matters where his own interests were af  fected. The pag us was subdivided into hundreds, each under a local officer appointed by the count.
